Brassbanned is heading to Adelaide to bring you live and exclusive coverage of the world’s most-watched brass band event – the Australian National Band Championships! Click below to watch in stunning 4K.
We will be live with all band performances over Friday, Saturday and Sunday – as well as selected solos on Monday.
With thanks to our principal partner – Ozwinds Music – we are looking forward to bringing you 4K coverage of both main performance halls, with sensational camera work and ear-bendingly good audio feeds. We highly recommend you use headphones or a great home theatre system to fully immerse yourself in a weekend of magical music making.
